    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study reports on spinal hydatid cysts, a rare condition causing spinal cord compression. Surgical intervention is effective, with a low recurrence rate and no mortality observed in eleven cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Parasitology
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Hydatid cysts, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, can affect the spine.
    • Spinal hydatid cysts are rare but can lead to severe neurological deficits due to spinal cord compression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report on eleven cases of spinal hydatid cysts.
    • To analyze the clinical presentation, surgical management, and outcomes of spinal hydatid cysts.
    • To compare findings with existing literature.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of eleven surgically treated cases of spinal hydatid cyst.
    • Histopathological confirmation of cysts.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, cyst location, surgical approach, recurrence rates, and mortality.

    Main Results:

    • Eleven cases (6 female, 5 male; ages 10-65) of spinal hydatid cyst were identified.
    • Cysts were predominantly epidural (10/11) with one intradural, extramedullary location.
    • Surgical treatment resulted in 18% recurrence and 0% mortality; Mebendazole was used in two post-operative cases.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical management is the primary treatment for spinal hydatid cysts.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial to prevent irreversible neurological damage.
    • While effective, vigilance for recurrence is necessary post-surgery.
